What’s it like to go from being a Nickelodeon child star to the longest tenured cast member of SNL in the show’s history? Today, we’re bringing back an encore episode with Kenan Thompson to get into “All That” and more. From “Good Burger” to a small church in Pasadena, his journey is loaded with insight into comedy, challenges, and creativity.


We are back for week two and BABY, we are just getting started! We all know how good it feels when you find what you love, but what if you find it before you find yourself? This week we’re going down the rabbit hole on child actors and what my life would have been like if I wasn’t a performer. We’re joined by Kenan Thompson, SNL great and “All That” legend. We go in on how being a child actor affected him as an adult, his journey from “All That” to “Kenan & Kel” to SNL, and the challenges and criticism he faced along the way.
